Each year the Robert Bosch Stiftung issues three Film Prizes for International Cooperation, worth 60,000 euros each, to mixed teams of emerging Arab and German filmmakers to co-produce a joint film project in the categories short animated film, short fiction film, and short or feature length documentary.

To facilitate the team-finding process, up to twenty Arab directors will be invited to meet with up to fifteen German producers at the Project Market Amman which takes place in cooperation with the Royal Film Commission – Jordan (RFC) from June 13 to 18, 2019. The Robert Bosch Stiftung will cover the costs for travel, accommodation and catering.
